Halloween

Yep, late as usual.



H as Glinda the Good Witch. I hated sewing this costume. The damn satin kept shredding at the seams despite being serged. H stuck her finger through one of the bodice seams when she tried it on and then put her elbows through the sleeves when she wore it to the Harvest Fest.... which then necessitated my taking the sleevs off and replacing them with entirely new ones. However, she did end up winning third prize in a costume contest and SHE loved the costume, which is really all that matters.

A as Dorothy. Yes, I am biased, but I think she makes a most excellent Dorothy! Her costume was MUCH easier than her sister's!!

Last but not least, the Short One as Elvis. now THIS costume I thoroughly enjoyed making, despite all the finicky parts! Sure I burned the snot out of my fingertips putting on all the studs, stones, and stars, and I learned things like you can't wash buckram (now how stupid is that), but all in all, it was fun. and it was even more fun taking him out in it!

His guitar also doubled as a treat bag (there is an opening and a strap you can't see), but her refused to use it as such once he got the lovely TRU bag from the giveaway Halloween afternoon.
